Anne of Green Gables, written by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery and first published in 1908, is a beloved coming-of-age novel set in the picturesque village of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. The story follows Anne Shirley, an imaginative, spirited, and talkative orphan who is mistakenly sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help with their farm.

Anne, with her bright red hair, sharp wit, and knack for getting into trouble, initially surprises the practical and no-nonsense Marilla. But over time, Anne’s boundless imagination, sensitivity, and unrelenting optimism begin to charm the entire community. The novel traces Anne’s growth from a dreamy, impulsive child into a thoughtful and determined young woman, while exploring themes of belonging, friendship, identity, and the importance of home.

The vivid descriptions of rural life, Anne’s heartwarming relationships, and her humorous mishaps have made Anne of Green Gables a classic of children’s literature. The novel remains a timeless celebration of individuality, kindness, and resilience, resonating with readers of all ages and inspiring numerous adaptations in film, television, and stage productions.
